Zechariah

Zechariah 7:11–13

¹¹But they refused to pay attention and turned a stubborn shoulder; they stopped up their ears from hearing.^e ¹²They made their hearts like flint and would not listen to the law or to the words that the LORD of Hosts had sent by His Spirit through the earlier prophets. Therefore great anger came from the LORD of Hosts.

¹³And just as I had called and they would not listen, so when they called I would not listen, says the LORD of Hosts.
